The increasing workload, attributed to a high number of patients and limited human resources, is a major cause of stress among nurses. This stress can lead to burnout syndrome, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decrease in personal accomplishment, ultimately affecting the quality of nursing care provided to patients. Instances of nurse stress are not confined to a single country but are prevalent in various countries such as China, Australia, India, and Dubai. Elevated levels of stress among nurses can result in serious consequences, including physical and mental disorders like anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and other health issues, potentially escalating to suicide risk. The aim of this research is to determine the outcomes of a literature review concerning the utilization of Mindfulness therapy in managing nurse stress in hospitals. This study entails a literature review sourced from the PubMed, Scopus, and Proquest databases. Articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, where inclusion criteria spanned from 2018 to 2023. The search yielded 6 articles filtered using PRISMA guidelines. This research aimed to identify articles on stress management methods for nurses that met the inclusion criteria. Mindfulness therapy proves to be beneficial for reducing stress among nurses in hospital settings and offers motivation to consider its incorporation into clinical practice and health programs within healthcare institutions.
